The campaign ran over a 2-week timespan and successfully generated 1.2 million impressions and over 14,000 app downloads, with educational content proving most effective for driving conversions.

Cake App case study FAQ

We ran five creators with varied styles (educational, entertaining, interactive); the educational approach drove the most downloads because viewers' priority was learning English. We test styles, then scale the winner.

Talk to an expert

Each creator got a unique download link, so the 14,000+ downloads and 1.2M impressions were attributable individually, letting us see which content style converted best.

Talk to an expert

For this Korea-based app we cast five Portuguese-speaking South American YouTubers (largely Brazil) to speak natively to the target market — local-language fit was the selection criterion.

Talk to an expert

ROI was measured against tracked downloads via personalized links relative to spend over the two-week run.

We'd expand the winning educational format to more creators and markets and shift from a burst to a sustained cadence, reinvesting in the styles and creators that convert.
